if you had a directi election, you could get somebody elected with a plurality of no more than 30% of the vote. if you had a direct election, you would have, by necessity, a national media campaign in which there'd be no incentive for grassroots activity or coalition building. the problem with it as it presently operates is it's not the electoral college per se by the winner takes all system of choosing electors, which essentially meaning only about 18 states get a campaign. you have to change that. >> so let's talk about the popular vote versus the electoral. just like we saw in 2000, a candidate can still lose the popular vote and win the presidency. you don't think that needs to change? >> no, i don't think that needs to change. our republican has survived with that 14 times. i'm not sure it would survive a 100-day recount or low plurality president or a national media campaign which will afflict all of the media attention to all of the states. i don't think the country would survive very well without it and that's what would happen with the direct election. there is other ways. .
